++ Total: [120 PL, 4CP, 1,994pts] ++

So the plan with this is to protect as many Hormagaunts as possible with a Malanthrope -1 to hit and abuse the Ambush Predators adaptation to always have S4 on Hormagaunts and S5 on Genestealers. Also Broodlord and Tyrant should act like a double threat and Lictors should help getting points from objectives like Behind Enemy Lines.

Make some room for a Malceptor, the -1S in shooting really helps gaunt survival vs mass bolters. Also, give the gaunts TS, they are very efficient for 1pt at increasing output. Otherwise both your gaunts and stealers are fighting for the fleet power.

The HI adaptive won’t affect gaunts/stealers locked in combat for a turn, and it’s pretty easy to avoid the 3” HI or charge and pile-in away so they can’t HI or fight.

Yeah, already done it with a Maleceptor, makes sense.

Rule of 3 not working on Troops?

Rule of 3 only applies to non-Troop units.



Edit: Also Dedicated Transports ignore rule of 3.

With the exception of units with the Troops or Dedicated Transport Battlefield Roles, or units that are added to a players army during the battle, each player can only include the same datasheet in their army 2 times (if they are playing an Incursion battle) or 3 times (if they are playing a Strike Force battle).
